Average blood glucose refers to the average level of glucose (sugar) in your blood over a period of time, typically measured over 2-3 months. This is often assessed using the A1C test, which provides a percentage that reflects your average blood glucose levels.
Here’s a quick reference for A1C and estimated average glucose (eAG):
A1C (%) eAG (mg/dL)
6 126
7 154
8 183
9 212
10 240
- Normal: Below 5.7%
- Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or above
Monitoring your average blood glucose helps in managing diabetes and reducing the risk of complications.
